30 years ago, I was the victim of domestic violence. My husband regularly drank and I was often beaten. I heard something about this book and chose to buy a copy. From page one I thought.."GOD THIS IS ME," I WAS ADDICTED!!!! I gained a lot of insight and then new I wasnt the only one. FAST FORWARD.... I new I had to get out of the marriage for my children and my own sake. I divorced and told myself I would never let this happen again, whenever 'HE SANG HIS APPOLOGIES' I referred to this book, ' MY SURVIVAL BIBLE' and thought "NOT GOING BACK, ONLY FORWARD AND OUT." I divorced, I spoke on a local radio station about domestic violence and even did voluntary work for a 'women in need' charity who provide safe houses, and our local Samaritans. I'm now happily remarried to a wonderful man, my children all grown and settled, holding steady jobs and thankfully weren't raised in a destructive family home. Being a 'divorced' single mam wasn't always easy, money could be tight, but I could lock my door and sleep without waiting for a key to rattle in the lock, expecting another beating!Read full review

I first got this book in 1993, it was from my personal tutor on the diploma in social work course I was doing. At the time I was in an emotionally abusive relationship - although I didn't realise it until my tutor pointed it out to me. I wasn't strong enough to read it fully until a year or so later, and when I did, it astonished me how much I could relate to it and how much sense it made to me. I'm glad to say that I have NEVER been in a relationship that was in any way abusive since.It opened my eyes and I was able to identify then break the cycle of thinking that if I loved him enough/was a good enough girlfriend then he would change. Thank f**k for that! Since then I have bought this book many times to give to friends and acquaintances who I believed were classic 'women who loved too much'. Here I am, 26 years later, buying it for yet another old friend. This is indeed, 'a life-changing book for women'. So many women can/will benefit from reading it. I honestly can't rate it highly enough. Read full review
